Max

[akgo4]

Not looking to talk Vikings through this, or McCarthy's ability, but after today's debacle in GB, one has to think that Max might have a legit chance to play coming up.

Big debate on the post-game show.

Legit question is:

If Max had not gone to Minnesota and somehow finished out at New Hampshire and made the squad...even to be No. 2 as transpired...would there be a call for him to see the field under the same circumstances?

Or said another way, is the only reason there are calls for Max just really the homer effect due to the Gophers connection?

Clearly Max going to Minnesota is why he's a Viking with KOC's connections to Coach Fleck and the local proximity factor weighing heavily. Clearly though this has to be part of the front office and KOC calculations.

Ron Johnson admits there's probably some homer in him but thinks it's time. Why not see what the kid has got?

He was by far the best Gopher QB of my lifetime, not saying he going to be an all-pro but I do think he's got a shot to be a solid starter.

Of course, we want to see the former Gopher play! The season is finished. Give him a chance. If he produces half-way decent results it’s a great Minnesota story.

From the head coach perspective if he came in and flopped…then the NFL fan mob will say JJs confidence is irreparably ruined, coach didn’t have a proper bench, coach didn’t draft well and the QB whisperer thing kind of bursts into flames. Gonna ride this thing straight into the abyss if that’s what it takes, while hoping it pulls out of the dive.

Personally I’d love to see Max get a shot but I’m not confident that’s ever going to happen barring injury. So, decent probability.

Mcconnell's post game comments cause me to believe they'll anchor themselves to McCarthy to the very end of the season unless he's injured, which is a crock of shit. The dude is a total dud.

There's always calls for the back-up QB. The shame is that they didn't play him instead of Wentz. They're not going to bench McCarthy this year.

I wonder if coach doesn’t have a directive to keep MaCarthy in the game, Chicagos guy was bad last year, Carolinas guy 2 years bad but getting better.

Max throws on time better than Mac, it seems, would be fun to see him get a better shot.

I would venture the opinion nothing could be worse for the "quarterback whisperer" rep than watching JJ McCarthy stink the joint up.

The circumstances are what they are. Every opportunity includes some luck. He seems prepared so why not roll the dice?
